Abstract: Ionic superatomic materials that can be solution-processed into completely amorphous and homogeneous thin films are disclosed herein. The amorphous materials disclosed herein have tunable compositions and have electrical conductivities of up to 300 siemens per meter, thermal conductivities of 0.05 watt per meter per degree Kelvin, and optical transparencies of up to 92%. Application of these thin-films are also provided herein.

Abstract: Techniques for capacity management in computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes analyzing data representing a number of enabled users or a number of provisioned users to determine whether the analyzed data represents an anomaly based on historical data. The method can also include upon determining that the data represents an anomaly, determining a conversion rate between a change in the number of enabled users or the number of provisioned users and a change in a number of active users of the computing service and deriving a future value of the number of active users of the computing service based on both the detected anomaly and the determined conversion rate. The method can further include allocating and provisioning an amount of the computing resource in the distributed computing system in accordance with the determined future value of the active users of the computing resource.

Abstract: The present invention provides a panchromatic sharpening method of spectral image based on fusion of overall structural information and spatial detail information, comprising: performing brightness linear stretching on a panchromatic image, so as to set the variance of the panchromatic image to be equal to the variance of said spectral image; respectively interpolating N components of the spectral image so as to generate an interpolation image series having the same resolution as that of the panchromatic image; subtracting the interpolation image series from the panchromatic image after said linear stretching to obtain difference images; performing Gauss filtering on the difference images, thereby obtaining difference tendency images; and, respectively subtracting the difference tendency image series from the panchromatic image after said linear stretching, thus obtaining fused images.

Abstract: A method for distinguishing between a plurality of pointers in an interactive input system comprises calculating a plurality of potential coordinates for a plurality of pointers in proximity of an input surface of the interactive input system, displaying visual indicators associated with each potential coordinate on the input surface, and determining real pointer locations and imaginary pointer locations associated with each potential coordinate from the visual indicators.
